The Party of "No"

Technorati and Me

Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix
the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M.
and the guys at
GetSatisfaction.com
where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape
delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they
pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday
listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

NJ Blue Cross and Blue Shield isn't buying what Obama is shoveling. They're
not willing to deal with the uncertainty of keeping what he calls a "crummy"
health plan around for another year, even if he wants them to.

Ninety thousand New Jersey residents next year will lose their low-cost
bare-bones health plans issued by the state's largest insurer — forcing
them to purchase new Obamacare policies, possibly with subsidies, or pay a fine.

The announcement by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey came just 90
minutes after Governor Christie said he would leave the decision about whether
to renew all kinds of canceled health policies to the insurers, which President
Obama said earlier this month they could do with state approval.

The most popular type of coverage for people who buy their own insurance
— a so-called basic and essential plan — would have to be
redesigned to do away with its $600 annual limit on preventive care, $700
limit on visits to doctors for illness and $500 limit on outpatient testing,
according to the state Insurance Department.

Such a redesigned plan "would cost substantially more," Horizon said in a
statement. We do not consider that a viable option for our individual members."

Who buys B&E plans? Young, healthy people, who don't require a lot of medical
attention. Who does Obama need to subsidize all the sick, elderly folks
signing up for Obamacare? Young, healthy people!

Welcome to Wealth Transfer on an astronomical scale.

Or as the Obamunists describe it, From each according to his abilities, to
each according to his needs.
